Brain uses expectations to decide what to fill perception with. you don't expect hands to be the same red tone as cola cans.

I think it's also the amount of blue overlay. If you zoom way in, the cola can has much larger chunks of uninterrupted white, whereas the hand has a lot more blue interspersed.
